Tony Bennett has canceled his Wednesday performance in Birmingham. "Unforeseen personal obligations" are to blame, said a publicist for local promoter Red Mountain Entertainment.

The publicist offered no other details, but said Bennett and his management team offered their apologies and called the cancellation "regretful but unavoidable." The veteran pop crooner was to perform at 8 p.m. in the BJCC Concert Hall.

Bennett also canceled tonight's concert at the Mobile Civic Center Theater, according to Ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster's policy for cancelations is to issue automatic refunds to those who bought tickets online or by phone, using a credit card. Those who bought tickets at outlets must return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
